We Stayed at the Sawdust Alpacas in Fallon NV our RV thru a Harvest Host. It was SUCH a neat experience! The alpacas were adorable! They have the cutest expressions. We watched them being weighted and fed. Glenn was very informative and showed us their fiber room. They also have a wool shop where we bought a saddle rug, alpaca socks, dryer wool balls, and a white alpaca shawl. Such treasures! His wife helped us in the shop. They also have a 14 year old girl who was quite helpful with the alpacas and all around their farm from operating the tractor, to baling hay! What a great experience!

What an amazing place we stayed with harvest host in our RV. Glenn and Carolyn were very helpful teaching us all about raising alpacas. Our dogs were mesmerized by the Apaca. They had 30 amp service for $10.00. They own 5 acres of property that you're free to walk around with your pets. They were very helpful with anything you needed. They had a store that has alpaca goods, blankets, socks, scarf and much more. I would really reommend this place to anyone who would like to have an alpaca farm experience.

Enjoyed our overnight with Glenn and Carolyn very much. Also enjoyed meeting fellow HHs Linda and Randy Johnson. Both Carolyn and Linda loved sharing experiences of full-time RVing and provided lots of suggestions and recommendations. I'd never met an alpaca up close and personal and was delighted to find that they have very distinct personalities. A two day old baby (cria) was just thye cutest thing ever! Our site was generously sized, level and 30 amp hookup convenient. I did some early Christmas shopping in their store and will include the provided "care" instructions with my gift. I'd definitely recommend this Harver Host.

We had a wonderful time at Sawdust Alpacas -- in the top 10% of our many HH experiences. Glenn and Carolyn Waddell were very gracious hosts, spending time to welcome us (including a "welcome package") and educate us about alpacas. The highlight of our stay was the morning we were ready to depart. We went to say goodbye and thank Glenn and Carolyn for their hospitality when we learned that one of the alpacas had just given birth to a young male. Many of the other female alpacas crowded around inside the barn to get a glimpse of mom and her new baby boy. An amazing experience. Grateful that Glenn and Carolyn invited us into the barn to share this special moment. Throughout our stay, we could sense the passion which these hosts have for ther alpacas (28 alpacas which they kinow by name) and their Sawdust Alpacas Business. Highly recommend the HH Stop.

Amazing
Glenn was awesome. he greeted us and directed us on where to park. He gave us a tour and immediately got our 10 and 12 year old children involved with the Alpacas. What a great education. 30 amp hookup was perfect for $10.00. We purchased some great Alpaca gifts in the shop. The kids loved the very unique stuffed animals. Glenn helped our neihbor for the night get his slide topper fixed so he could pull out his slide on his Class A. Glenn got the kids involved in the norning before we left with feeding the Alpacas and showing them how to take care of these beauutiful animals. Would love to go back if we are ever traveling that direction again. Thank you Sawdust Alpacas!

Great clean Alpaca Farm, cute animals and Glenn explaing it all so thououghly. We felt the Alpacas and visited there store of craft items. Quiet area about 4 miles from town. Super Walmart near by for groceries. Recommend this place.

Glenn and his wife were so kind. They gave us a tour of their Alpaca ranch and shared how the fleece is handled. They were just genuinely nice people. Very accommodating and their store is full of treasures for alpaca lovers. Thunder the alpaca was very friendly. Thank you for the nice stay.

The host was super quick to respond to our request to stay, and even approved 2 extra nights. We arrived to find our site was literally feet from the pens where we could watch the alpacas from both inside and outside the rig. That was expecially nice as I would be working during our stay. We hooked up the 30 amp as we had been boondocking for a few weeks. Power Supply was perfect. The next morning, Glen, our host gave us the tour. Man, he knows his alpacas. He told us their lineage and all about these amazing animals. They had just sheared the previous week so bags of the fiber were still in the barn where we could see them. I quickly picked my favorite and decided we would be friends by the end of our stay. My hubs joined Glen to do chores while I went back to work. It kept us both busy. After work, we would sit outside, and eventually inside the pen to watch the alpacas. They are so gentle and serene, and I love the little noises they make. I purchases a hat and sleeves from the cute shop. Just wait til you see the ribbons they have won! Caroline and Glen are gracious hosts who seem to love sharing their knowledge and animals. We will definitely be going back if we get back to the Fallon area.

Great Stop!
Location was lovely. The parking spot had a perfect view of the alpacas, and I don't know who enjoyed that more, the humans or the canine. Glenn and Carolyn are exceptional hosts and went the extra mile to fine my size of socks and answer ALL my questions bout alpaca history and husbandry. Highly recommend this spot!

Glenn was a fantastic host. He loved sharinghis knowledge about Alpacas. He knew all the farms we had visited in the past and their owners. They have a nice small store you can buy Alpaca products from. Out site was fairly level and we opted for the 30 amp plug in since it was a bit cool

Super stay with Sawdust
The hosts were fantastic. There were two spots to choose from, we used the one next to the alpaca pen. It dropped off a little, which was fine for us, but might not be for longer rigs. We really enjoyed the time we spent with Glenn meeting the Alpacas in the morning!

Perfect spot
Glenn and Carolyn were wonderful hosts, we loved helping out with the alpacas and meeting the animals. Our hosts were a wealth of fun information and truly love their little herd. Our parking spot had 30 amp power and was and easy pull thru for our 35 ft fifth wheel, pretty level with no tree issues.
The farm store is cute, we picked up a hat and sticker's for the road. We highly recommend this place.

Cute Alpacas
Glenn met us and gave us a nice tour. Got to pet an alpaca and see a couple of baby ones. They offer 30 amp power for just $10 which we took as temps dropped into the low 20's. Would stay here again.

Outstanding Hospitality
We spent the night next to the most curious herd of alpacas. They wer soft and welcoming and our hosts were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable - able to share insight on what life is like as an alpaca farmer. The store has some rare finds and I plan to bring the entire family back to the area closer to the holidays to visit. Thank you to Glenn and Carolyn for a most enjouable stay.
Jen's Review - 8/11/24
We loved our stay at Sawdust Alpacas! Communication with the hosts, including specific directions, was excellent! The available (and cheap) shore power was especially welcome with the 100 degree weather. We truly enjoyed the time we spent with Glenn and Carolyn learning about alpaca farming. Super cute store with alpaca products. We highly recomment this HH and hope to stay again. Thanks Glenn and Carolyn!
5/13/24 New Review from Harvest Hosts
Glenn and Carolyn were amazing hosts. Salt of the earth people! They were very communicative and accommodating for our stay. They gave us a little tour of thier alpaca farm and had a little store to purchase all things alpaca. It was a quiet stay and met our needs. Great Experience!

We just loved staying here right beside the alpacas. Our hostss were so welcoming and friendly. They helped us get settled in our spot with a new electric hookup. We had a view of the alpacas, so we could see them any time of day. They gave us a detailed tour of the farm, and we met the alpacas up close, no idea how soft they were! We were able to buy some cute alpaca stuff and a knitted shawl using the wool for the alpacas we met. We will be back when passing through again. Thanks you for a great stay.

Subject: Hi from North Dakota!! -The Richardsons
Hi Glenn and Carolyn, Not sure if you remember us, but its Hallie and Matt Richardson (children are Andrew and Merritt). We came through your Alpaca Ranch this last Summer while traveling in our RV, we have a little dog named Apple too. Anyhow, we learned so much about Alpacas and fell in love with the idea of owning some someday. Well, I'm happy to report we have settled down in North Dakota, we bought a farm house on 12 acres, outside of this small town called Grafton. Besides the house, and a small shed there isn't a setup (yet) to have livestock, but we want to start planning to get a barn, and a nice fenced area so we can eventually get Alpacas!! We know there is one Alpaca farm but that's quite a bit further South, we think this community would just love an Alpaca Ranch nearby! Anyhow, I'm going to start doing more research on Alpacas and the community therein. But we wanted to reach out, and give you two an update on what we are up to!! We hope you are well, and thanks again for hosting us so we could learn about these beautiful, curious animals. -Hallie and Matt Richardson [email protected]

Stayed with Glenn and Carolyn at Sawdust Alpacas. BA and SlowPole were in town for the Fastest Gun Alive Fast Draw competition. It was an Awesome stay, we learned about all the animals, got to hold one, got the entire tour and lots of knowledge about Glenns operation. They even came into town to watch us at the shooting match. Will be seeing them in the future. They are loving and kind and great with the animals, awesome little gift shop was able to get some good Christmas gifts.

This was my mom and my First stay at a Harvest Host and we couldn't have had a
Better first stop. We arrived a bit late but we got to say Goodnight to the moms/baby Alpacas. Glen met me outside and suggested the best way to park. Glen is a Very friendly guy and as we found out the next day, a Very Alpaca Knowledgeable man. The next morning we got to help feed and meet All of the Alpacas. We learned SO much about Alpacas. So Many Interest things that we learned. Glen gave us a good hour and a half of this time to answer SO many questions that we had (Sorry Glen). Then when we thought it was all done we met Carolyn and she brought us into the shop. What a fun little store and Carolyn is so Sweet and Very Knowledgeable as well. It was Very hard for my mom and I to not buy one of everything in the shop. I plan on going back to Sawdust Alpacas the next time I go home to California. Thank You to Glen and Carolyn for having Such a Wonderful place for us to stay and learn and to meet Two really Great People and Many Beautiful Alpacas

The host was very friendly and spent a good amount of time telling us about the Alpacas and letting us pet and be with them. His tour was fabulous! The site was level and he had a 30 amp plug available. His wife ran the shop which had a good selection of items at all prices. We would stay again. We especially liked the Alpaca that Harvest Host sponsored. Thank you for such a fabulous stay in July 2023.

23.06.28 Sawdust Alpacas, Fallon NV Glen was a most affable host and the site is an attraction unto itself. I was an hour early showing up (I missed the "Entering Pacific Time Zone" sign when I passed into NV from UT), and interrupted his dinner, but he was jovial about it, said I could park right over by the female alpacas pen, showed me where to plug in, and invited me to take all the pics I wanted. The alpacas are pretty cool animals. Totall silent, at least so far. They seem curious about me, but not enough to approach me. I just said hi from the fence and watched them for a while. I slept about 20 feet from them all night and never heard a sound. My solar generators were pretty well charged from a drive across NV (go figure, right?), but I ran my 100-foot cord to the side of the house and plugged in to top them off anyway. Glen askeds for $10 to cover electricity and I happlily paid. Come morning, I was up and out before Glen came out, so I check out his small store. Some very cool stuff in there! I bought a pair of nice thick socks for when I go hiking up in Canada ($15). This was a very cool site indeed. I thanked Glen for his hospitality and congeniality. If I find myself near Fallon again, I would definitely request another stay.

These hosts were quick at making us feel at home at their farm. We had a nice parking spot that we liked near the alpacas. There was electric but we didn't need it. We loved the tour and getting to know the individual personalities of the alpacas and their guardian dog. The shop has many items hand made fro their aplacas along with other similar choices. I especially liked their sticker. They also give out a complimentary, reusable tote that's very nice for using for traveling. Nice Sunset. Thank you!

Directions on Google took us directly to the farm. Upon arrival, Glenn came over and instructed us on where to park. Glenn and Carol were extremely hospitable and kind. He led us into the alpaca pen and showed us around. It was nice looking out our window and watching the alpacas. They're quiet animals and their guard dog, Abby is such a sweet dog. It was a wonderful experience, we would definitely go back to visit.

It was my first time seeing alpacas. They are adorable!. The hosts shared their extensive knowledge of alpacas and gave us a tour. I bought some alpaca fiber to knit. It was also a quiet and peaceful place to overnight. Thanks to the hosts for sharing their farm with us.

We enjoyed a fantastic stay at Sawdust Alpacas. Glenn and Carolyn were great and provided awesome information about the alpacas. We were invited to help with the weighing and administering of supplements to the two babies that were on site during our visit. The gift shop on site had a nice variety of items for sale and we bought some cute Christmas gifts while we were there. Their guardian dog, Annie, does do her job overnight so earplugs might be considered. Maybe these can be an additional offering in the gift shop (made from alpaca fiber, of course)! Highly recommend this Harvest Host.

We absolutely loved our stay here! Glen walked us around and taught us about their whole operation which was wonderful because I hope to have fiber animals one day. Abby was the sweetest girl and the alpacas are adorable. Carolyn helped us in the store where we were able to find some some beautiful year, cozy socks and mittens. There is the option to hook up to power dor $10 which is great because it allowed me to use our electric heaters and make coffee. That's been my favorite place to stay so far."

This was our very first stay at a Harvest Host and it was so memorable. Sorry for the delay in the review but we were unable to post earlier. We are thrilled that we spent time here at their farm. Both hosts are generous and caring people. The farm is small but has plenty of room for RVs and has power and water available for a small fee. They have a store on premises and we destroyed our wallet there since there was so many different things to buy. Our favorite was a black and gray rug that was made at their farm. Glenn is so knowledgeable and takes a lot of time to educate guests on the alpacas and the workings of the farm. We took photographs of the alpacas since I am a photographer and we gave them lots a pics to use in their business. We even were honored that they spent time with use on their patio in the evening and shared stories and pics over a nice glass of wine. We hope to be back again and if you are thinking of staying here...do not miss the chance!

We immensely appreciated the opportunity to stay with our hosts Glenn and Carolyn! Hands down the best experience. We were able to stay a little late in the day to watch the birth of a new baby alpaca. Glenn and Carolyn were exceptional hosts! We were able to fit our 35' 5th wheel without any problems. Can't wait to see them and their 4 leggers (including Abie). Thank you....

Even if you have to go out of your way, go to Sawdust Alpacas. Glenn is so friendly and obviously loves his alpacas. He spent 2-3 hours with us talking about alpacas in general and about his specific animals. We were able to help him as he ground down one of the boy’s teeth. We were there in early November and he had seven recently born babies. One was only one week old. Caroline, Glenn’s wife was a wealth of information about the quality of the wool and she had a nice little store there with alpaca wool products for sale. This was our first Harvest Host experience. Glenn and Caroline set a high bar for any future stays for us.

Yes! Definitely stay here! We had stayed at another alpaca farm in Maine so I was hesitant to stay here but I’m so glad we did! Glenn welcomed us in even though I called the same day. He has a smooth, flat spot right between his home and the alpacas. It was so fun to wake up to alpacas staring at you. In the morning he invited our children into the yard to pet and feed the alpacas. He taught us a lot about the animals and showed my kids how he cuts their nails. You can tell that he thoroughly enjoys having the children on his farm. His wife Carolyn was very sweet. We purchased a few things from their small store. As we left they waved us off like family. Thank you so much for having us!

Hi Mr. Glenn and Mrs. Carolyn,
As promised, here's a link to the videos and pictures I took. Apologize for the delay.
We had such a wonderful time. Quinn loved all the animals and really enjoyed helping with the alpaca chores. He still talks about Thunder ??
Thank you again for letting us stay. I am sure we will be back for another visit!
Happy Holidays!

Glenn couldn’t have been more hospitable. The corrals were very well kept so no odors since Glenn is constantly working on it.We came away from our visit with a few pair of what are now my favorite socks and we’ll be back for more . . . Judy E., 11/20/2020
We’ve been on the road for about three weeks, and this was my favorite place we’ve stayed! We got to to tour the farm and meet all the alpacas. The hosts were super knowledgeable and so friendly. Plus— they had hookups and WiFi! . . . Molly W, 11/23/2020
